This is the story of Buddy, a shelter dog who was deemed "aggressive and vicious" and "unadoptable" by the powers-that-be at the Devore Animal Shelter, and the battle that ensued to save his life. Just because a vet deems a dog "aggressive and vicious" doesn't mean he's "unadoptable". It just means he's unbalanced and needs someone to get him re-balanced. This is our story of doing just that with Buddy. Enjoy!

IF YOU CAN HELP OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN

As you can see, the vet bill alone for Buddy/Cesar is quite expensive. These expenses were totally unexpected, and when Claudia and I took on the "rescuing" of this dog, we had no idea this endeavor was going to put one of us in a large amount of debt.. I thank God that Claudia is willing to take on this debt and that she simply sees it as being "for a good cause". God bless her for being so selfless in her willingness to rescue this dog.

In light of that, if anybody knows of an organization or foundation that might be able to help Claudia with these expenses, please let me know by emailing me at iblori63@gmail.com. In addition, if any of you can find it in your budget and heart to donate for this cause, please email her at clancylab@msn.com. I know this is a really bad time with our economy and all, and most of us are struggling to just make ends meet, but even a donation as small as $5 or $10 would help at this time. Claudia did have to put the expenses on a credit card; therefore, she's paying interest so any amount could help.

I thank you for taking the time to read my blog and for your care and concern about this amazing dog. Please feel free to share this blog with your friends, family, and any other animal lovers you have in your life. This is a story we'd like to share around the world as it proves that a dog deemed "aggressive and vicious" by what I deem an "incompetent vet" (a vet who is obviously scared of dogs) isn't just a "throw-away" dog that should have just been "put down". There were reasons this dog was initially aggressive, and if you've read this blog up to this point, you know what I'm talking about.

This dog has come a very long way.. Seeing him now that he's healed and how calm and submissive he is--it's hard to believe he's the same dog. Now, he's beautiful, happy, prances around the yard with Luscious, and wags his tail. He probably thinks he died and went to heaven. In his world, he has!
